Cleveland Browns followers could have blended feelings upon listening to the most recent replace on quarterback Deshaun Watson, who suffered a torn Achilles mid-game on Oct. 20 towards the Cincinnati Bengals.
Per a number of experiences, Watson has suffered a torn Achilles for a second time and underwent one other surgical procedure to restore it Thursday. His standing for the beginning of the 2025 season is now doubtful.
Watson has played just 19 games for the Browns since being traded from the Houston Texans in 2022. He missed 11 video games of that season due to a suspension and a part of 2023 with a distinct damage.
This season, Cleveland completed 3-14, incomes the No. 2 general decide within the 2025 NFL Draft.
Regardless of Watson’s lengthy contract, which expires on the finish of the 2026-27 season, experiences emerged earlier this week that the team has been preparing to let him go.
Miami QB Cam Ward and Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders seem like the likeliest candidates for Cleveland with the No. 2 decide.
The Tennessee Titans, who personal the No. 1 slot, may decide a QB to interchange disappointing Will Levis or a high skill-position participant equivalent to Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, the broad receiver/cornerback for Colorado.
Nonetheless, some insiders are listening to that teams only believe there’s one first-round worthy quarterback, and it isn’t Sanders. So, if Tennessee chooses to handle that place with Ward, Cleveland could possibly be out of luck.
No timeline has been set for Watson’s restoration, but when he has taken his final snap for the Browns, the crew will have paid out $229.4M for simply these 19 video games performed. That is roughly $12.073M per sport.
